Real Housewives of Atlanta

Has "Basketball Wives" topped the ratings grabber "Real Housewives of Atlanta" in popularity. The two reality shows are Jerry Springer styled and often contain elements that scream lowest common denominator, but due to the recent ratings leap for "Basketball Wives" is the show about to surpass the popularity of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." 

"Basketball Wives"

Both shows are quite similar, but it seems "Basketball Wives" is stealing the crown of "Real Housewives of Atlanta." The show also has a celebrity connection it is exploiting for ratings. However, both shows need to do better in their portrayal of people of color. They are not setting a good example. There is so much negativity, jealousy and bickering.
